Well, it could, but you have to keep the use cases for libnotify in mind: short, asynchronous notifications where it doesn't really matter if the user misses them. eg: - "Manya has come online" - "Battery is low" - "You've got mail" It's not meant for: - Informing the user of something they just initiated (I'm looking at you Robert ;) - Displaying user-critical information, which I'd rate MOTD as - Displaying arbitrary widgets. A scrollbar or some auto-scroll inside a notification would make them too complex in my view, and besides why bother when putting a text view or better a GtkMozEmbed inside a GTK+ window is so easy? thanks -mike _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
